Incredible work

Answer:

BANGUPJOB

Hint:

Think of a slangy way to praise someone’s effort that sounds like it belongs in one word.

Explanation:

"Incredible work" is a playful hint for "BANGUPJOB," a casual phrase meaning an exceptionally good job. The word "incredible" reinforces the idea of something outstanding, while "work" directly points to "job." The term "bang-up" is old slang for excellent or first-rate, so the whole phrase is a lighthearted way to praise someone’s effort.
